    MSNBC has sparked outrage for its 'disgusting' and 'shameful' on-air comments while covering the fatal shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah. Kirk, who amassed a huge following for his fiery debates on university campuses, was assassinated in broad daylight mid-speech on Wednesday afternoon.

    Regarding Charlie Kirk's murder, I have only this to offer: It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late, With long arrears to make good, When the Saxon began to hate. They were not easily moved, They were icy — willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere the Saxon began to hate. Their voices were even and low. Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show When the Saxon began to hate. It was not preached to the crowd. It was not taught by the state. No man spoke...

    [Catholic Caucus] Leo XIV Practically Consented to Homosexual 'Abomination' in St Peter's – Bishop SchneiderOn 10 September, Bishop Athanasius Schneider commented on the homosexual march into St Peter's Basilica last Saturday. He spoke with Diane Montagna on her Substack account. Main points.- An unprecedented act took place in St Peter's Basilica in Rome that can be aptly described as an "abomination of desolation standing in the holy place" (cf. Mt 24:15).- Passing through the Holy Door and participating in the Jubilee without repentance, while promoting an ideology that openly rejects God’s Sixth Commandment, constitutes a desecration of the Holy Door...

    The Southern Poverty Law Center is perhaps most notorious for its “hate map,” which not only neglects to track extremist groups on the left, but also lumps mainstream conservative and religious organizations right alongside some of the most reprehensible neo-Nazis and white supremacists in the country. For this, it has been regularly and rightly criticized. The controversial activist group has also become phenomenally wealthy, with an endowment rivaling prominent universities and annual revenues exceeding some of the most well-known charities in the country. Recent visitors to its website may have noticed the following fundraising appeal: “Urgent: This is an all-hands-on-deck...

The plans got a real push when Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. inaugurated HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Philippines’ new shipyard at the former Hanjin complex, now renamed Agila Subic by American investment firm Cerberus Capital Management.
